Middle Schooler's Courage Saves Father in 'Miraculous 7 Minutes'

The next story is about a "middle schooler's miraculous seven minutes."

A heartwarming story has emerged of a middle school student who saved his father's life using cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) when his father suddenly collapsed.

On October 18, an emergency call to 119 was reported from an apartment in Deokjin-gu, Jeonju, stating that a man was having trouble breathing.

When his father in his 40s suddenly collapsed with breathing difficulties, his middle school son immediately made the call.

While waiting for the 119 paramedics to arrive, the son recalled the CPR he had learned at school and began chest compressions.

The 119 emergency dispatch center also assisted by making a video call to help him press down on the chest at a steady rhythm.

The son continued performing CPR for about seven minutes.

When paramedics arrived at the scene and provided professional emergency treatment, the father's heart began to beat again.

Fire authorities explained that this was a precious outcome brought together by the son's courage in putting the CPR he learned at school into practice in a real-life situation, alongside the prompt and systematic response of the 119 service.
